That may be a wonder treatment but I'd be extremely hesitant to hand that to a person I was going to photograph and suggest they use it.

My wife showed me a product she picked up at Costco called Lumify. It is a eyedrop solution that automatically whitens the eyes and gets rid of red, veiny, dull color with just a couple of drops in as little minutes. The Lumify is made by Bausch and Lomb and it gives 5 star results. Not cheap. $28 USD. I havent seen it other than Costco but haven't look beyond that. A couple of drops and you are bright eyed and bushy tailed. Good for portrait photographers to have in their bag of tricks. Always as the study whether they have any allergies to meds before you apply. Love the stuff. Makes my eyes look younger.

Heres the bottle.

Seems too risky given the potential numerous side effects.

Not only that it conducted it's own clinical trial to gain approval... i.e. fox guarding the hen house.

Here is the results of Bausch & Lomb's Clinical Trial:

I'm going with "no thanks" on this one. Good in concept but bad in execution. I prefer a couple of drops of "Dodge" or "Low opacity white paint". Thanks anyway.

Just a thought.

Don’t share eye drops with another person. Sharing drops could spread germs and infection
